This was committed to cvs about two months ago, which strikes me as kind of odd, as Math::Trig is a standard module which has been bundled with the default perl install for all perl5 releases since at least perl-5.005_03. It's up to version 1.01 by now. Compare: http://search.cpan.org/author/JARW/Math-Trig-0.02/Trig.pm http://search.cpan.org/author/JHI/perl-5.8.0/lib/Math/Trig.pm Seems a bit superfluous to me. Is there some specific reason for having this port?
